All of you smokers who think smoking doesn't kill, you are the lucky group who does not yet have cancer. My grandfather also thought smoking doesn’t kill, then he got cancer, and died.

But I figure if I can get rid of one of them then both I and everyone else around are better for it. The fact remains that second hand smoke and smokers assuming it is OK to have everyone else inhaling it is a very selfish act. There is absolutely no denying that it is a public health problem which must be solved through legislation rather than common sense because people refuse to understand they have no right to assume I want to breathe cancer causing agents all day. If you seriously think that you, your kids and future generations are better off because you want to pollute the air around them, I suggest your head be pulled out of the sand before it is too late. I have the all of the scars to prove the fact that smoking is incredibly unhealthy. I grew up in a home where my mother smoked while she was pregnant with me, while I was a small child and continues to do so to this day. I had a low birth weight, asthma when growing up and still continue to have reoccurring breathing problems today. I know that the sooner I don’t have to deal with smoking in bars, restaurants and other public places the safer my family will be. If you want to smoke do it in your own home, away from everyone else and if you have kids, spare them the misery of having to deal with all the problems later on and quit now.

Next time you are out try reading a newspaper, magazine, or something else that reports on scientific findings over the past 50 years. You will then find that you lungs are black, your chidren have asthma and likely have lower birth weights. I also probably would never want to get close enough to you to do what you are suggesting anyways. Using vulgar language doesn't exactly further the smokers cause in this country.

I've been a heavy smokre for 55 years, am not dead yet and I never killed anyone around me. You are operating under a delusion, but you can't stick it up my ass.
